Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 45.5mm

Description

It was with OMEGA’s maritime legacy in mind that the brand launched its Planet Ocean line in 2005. Today, the stylish OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Master Chronometer pays homage to OMEGA’s dive watch heritage.

This model, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a black ceramic dial with Arabic numerals and a date window at the 6 o’clock position. The dial presents a small seconds sub-dial, as well as 60-minute and 12-hour counters on one dial for intuitive reading of elapsed time. Mounted on the 45.5 mm stainless steel case, is the world's premiere black ceramic bezel with orange rubber. The diving scale of the bezel is crafted with Liquidmetal™.

Other features include an alveol screw-in caseback and a black structured rubber strap with orange stitching and lining.

The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Master Chronometer Chronograph is water resistant to 60 bar (600 metres / 2000 feet), and has a helium-escape valve. The OMEGA Master Chronometer calibre 9900 at the heart of this timepiece can be seen through the transparent caseback. To achieve Master Chronometer status, it has passed the 8 rigorous tests set by METAS (The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology).

Features

• Anti‑magnetic

  The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).

• Chronograph

  The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.

• Chronometer

  Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body (COSC).

• Date

  The day of the month, displayed in a window on a watch dial at the 3 or 6 o’clock position, or within a subdial at 9 o'clock.

• Helium escape valve

  Decompression system which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn for professional use in pressure chambers. (Long-term underwater work, crude oil exploration, etc.)

• Master Chronometer Certified

  Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

• Screw‑in crown

  Self-locking crown, screwed into the tube of the case, used for highly water resistant divers' watches.

• Small seconds

  A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.

• Time zone function

  Allows the hour hand to be easily adjusted to different time zones without stopping the watch.

• Transparent case back

  A transparent case back - frequently made of sapphire - makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.

• Unidirectional rotating bezel

  A bezel which turns in only one direction. Particularly useful for divers who cannot accidentally rotate it in the wrong direction, which could cause them to miscalculate their dive times. A rotating bezel makes it easy to measure elapsed time.
